[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: switch off backlight for backlight class 0 brightness

Make backlight class sysfs brightness 0 value switch off the backlight
for connectors that have the backlight_power callback defined. For eDP,
this has the similar caveats regarding power savings as bl_power as only
the power sequencer backlight control is switched off.
